Let me break it down for you here:

1. Lovable Labels

For little ones, their Toddler Toes are the perfect thing. Have your toddler learn right for left with these adorable shoe labels! Add a phone number on the second line and feel safe that your little one has this information on them (but discreetly hidden) in an emergency.

3. The Organized Family Menu Planner from GlowBaby

The Organized Family Menu Planner helps plan delicious and nutritious meals in every household. Organize each week’s meals, build grocery lists and maintain food budgets and dietary requirements with this stylish and handy planner. There is also a section to help you plan your next special occasion.
Create menus that suit your family’s favourites and nutritional needs as well as busy lifestyle.

6. Skip Hop Zoo Lunchies

With friendly faces and matching zipper-pulls, ZOO LUNCHIES make lunchtime fun time! Sized just right for little kids, or a mom and baby on-the-go, these soft bags have a roomy main compartment that holds sandwiches, snacks, drinks and more. An insulated, wipe-clean interior keeps food and drinks cold, plus an inside mesh pocket holds lunch money, an ice pack or utensils.

ZOO LUNCHIES coordinate with the entire line of ZOO PACKS little kid backpacks. The clip-on handle attaches securely to any backpack.

8. Goodbyn – Raspberry Goodbyn Bynto Kit

The Raspberry Goodbyn Bynto Kit utilizes three compartments to keep kids’ lunches from spilling, sloshing or mixing. Sandwiches won’t taste like your banana and your fresh fruit won’t have biscuit crumbs in it! Made entirely of FDA-approved materials, the Goodbyn lunchbox is dishwasher-safe and made to last. And when it’s time for a new one, the Goodbyn lunchbox is 100 percent recyclable. And, with hundreds of stickers, you’ll love designing their own one-of-a-kind, super cool lunchbox!

Goodbyn Bynto does away with wasteful plastic bags and drink boxes. Parents can save an estimated $190 per child each year on these two items alone. That’s good news for Mom and Mother Earth!

My 6 year old started 1st grade yesterday! :/ Our must have back to school gear is; some new clothes/shoes, backpack, lunch box, and supplies the teacher requests. I always wait on purchasing the in class supplies because the teacher’s list is always different then the standard “back to school” list you find at Target and Walmart.
What sticks out to me are the labels because my son leaves everything everywhere, last year on his first day of kindergarten he misplaced his lunch bag, jacket, and supply box.
Love the lunch gear because I pack his lunch.
The meal planner is awesome because I cook every night.
I adore the backpack and lunch bag, he would definitely he able to find his quickly!
Would love to try the Emergen-C to keep us from getting sick from those dreaded back to school germs.
That lunch kit is awesome and would be put to good use.
Would love to have some CleanWell to put in his lunch box to sanitize him before eating.

The lovable labels are awesome!! With Triplets, labeling things is the only way to make sure we have everything and know whose is whose. The meal planner and dry erase chalkboard are pretty cool for keeping organzed especially with the three little ones taking up a lot of time.

The Skip Hop Zoo Packs are adorable and functional! Love them! I also really like the idea behind the GlowBaby menu planner, but I would love to see something like that in an iPhone app — I just don’t need more paper in my life :)

I like the lovable labels product, the family planner would be nice, in fact my husband and I just started to try to do one…..so unorganized though…lol. Love the skip hop pack and lunchies……wouldn’t mind any product though. : )

My 3 year old son is starting preschool and the Skip Hop backpack is top of our list right now. The Skip Hop lunchies are too cute! We regularly use CleanWell and Emergen-C. I also like the Mighty-Nest waste free lunch gear and the Goodbyn Bynto Kit…I haven’t seen either of those yet. Thanks for sharing a great list!

I love the owl backpack! Everything I’ve got for my girls is owl themed. These all seem like great, and helpful products. I think anything that can get all of us excited for the school year, and save money is essential.

Well, every week is back to school for me – the little one is in daycare! My must-have is the permanent labels for his sippy cups… we have some from a different company, but I’d love to win any of the prizes! :)

Well…my daughter starts preschool next week so I guess that makes me a nubie, but I am familiar with Skip Hop products as I own the Duo Diaper Bag :) I really like their zoo line of products and would be awesome to win them for my little one. I think a must have for back to school hmmm…for me, nerves of steel (at least this time around)

I absolutely love love love the Skip Hop Zoo Pack and lunches. They are so cute, especially the owl one (I’ve become slightly obsessed with anything owl!). I also am liking the menu planneri really think I could use something like that.

I love all these ideas but the Glowbaby menu planner sticks out most to me! I was just researching something like this because I feel like we are stuck in a rut eating all the same foods. The Glowbaby menu planner would be great for my family!

The Skip Hop packs are on our list! My son starting preschool insists on having the elephant backpack and lunch box, I still need to order it! I love making all 3 of my school age boys lunches so I’m excited to get the cute lunch box too
